    Had a great night at bucks bar, the staff were really attentive, even apologised for how long our food was taking, even though we didn’t feel it took long at all. The Live music at the end of our meal was excellent and rounded the night off brilliantly. Will definitely be back.

    Booked Bucks Bar last minute while staying in Edinburgh. When booking there was only outside seating free which was fine seeing as it was last minute. Got there on time and shown to table. That’s when we were just left to it. Twice we had to go back in and ask for a menu. The second time the guy made a comment about being fully booked..not our problem. We ended up looking at the menu online then going in to order. Food was not too bad. It felt like because we were outside we were forgotten about and inside customers were more of a priority. Don’t think we would come back to this one.
